coupe....gone.

just got off the phone with my mum...
first thing she said was:"haven't heard from you for 3 months!"
made me feel even more sheepish about it, since i was calling to ask for money to pay my school fees.
then mum went on:"oh, the coupe is going off, i got a new 4 door one."
i panicked.
knowing my mum, she would have gotten those HUGE monster mercs...
*frown*
i love the Coupe, why cant we keep it?

Coupe and mum never got off to a good start, always giving her problems and funny symbol lights going off and freaking her out.
so what made her give up on it?

Driving home one night during the 7th month, the car died on her 4 times.
Scared her enough to tell me that she could have almost died.
Apparently it was some engine pump leak, which took only 1 day to repair but caused irreversible trauma to mum.
Within the next few days, the lovely Coupe which i've so dearly loved will be off
and replaced by a hedious golden-brown 4 door saloon model.

Quite upset i can't bring it out for a final spin,
since it was my first and only car i got to drive after i got my license.

It's also the 1st car which i :
1) on a night out to Zouk, i made a huge nick right into the metal work while tring to park it.
2) scratched the bottom of the bumper when parking head-in first in a HDB carpark,
(yes i've learnt since then never ever to do that cos the stupid curbs are so high)
3) backed it into a low yellow pole i didnt see while reversing,
causing a slight dent in back bumper which mum never knew!
4) scratched the front metal work just by the right headlight, when i got distracted at a
guardpost and released the break pedal... car then lunged into the barrier-pillar.

that's about all the damage i've ever done to the lovely Coupe,
but the new owner will never see them, cos mum got the car re-sprayed after she backed it into a pillar @ a carpark.
i know i know, i'm not a perfect driver but at least i didnt wrack the car!
so i can't be that bad a driver, right?
see, i'm not being all upset 'cause it's a Coupe, i've valid sentimental reasons!
